The chat room is really easy to use and it would be an instant way for people to get help and support. I have checked in many times, even when I know that it's daylight hours or evening in the US, but I am always the only one there. I have chatted with 'Madi' (who is in Australia), who also found 'chat' easy. It's a shame that this wonderful facility is not used more often. Maybe I just keep missing the busy times, being in a different time zone (UK) . If you haven't tried it , I suggest that you do so, if you see that 'friends' happen to be signed into the forum. Tonight (today for all in US) I think it could have helped many people who are worried about pets who are very sick. Sometimes when you are distraught it's hard to compose a full 'post' so instant chat could be very beneficial. Please keep posting though, I don't for one second think that 'chat' should replace the forum postings, but used alongside the forums for instant help, advice and companionship.

I agree Jan, I've logged in before and it's always empty. Sometimes you want to be in touch, but don't have anything in particular to post. I'll log in more often and look for you (except for the darn timezone issue).

I look forward to seeing you there Kelly. Just had a long chat with Margi and Tahoeden. It was good to be able to instant chat like that. Hope to see more friends in there soon. xx

I go there every day, but it must be the time difference I think, nobody is ever there. I'll trot over now and take a look.

Oh dear Madi, I just popped into chat and it's saying you are there, but no answer, think we must have just missed each other again. Hope to catch you soon. I know we're all thinking of Margi and Dear Ladywolf today, and little Sweetpea. Bless them. I do hope Margi is managing to get some sleep, it's been a terrible time for her.xx

for some reason, the chat room really never caught on. i think it is because no one organizes a mutual meeting time, and with time zone differences, etc. it can get difficult to meet up with people. it's a shame, this is one of the best chat rooms i've seen.
you can access it from any page of the website (aside from the forum), or just click here: http://lightning-strike.com/chat/flashchat.php no registration or password is needed, just login using your LS screen name. for those who are adventurous, you can create your own private chat room as well. -------------------- |
